Battle For The Net
The Fight For Net Neutrality
The FCC has ruled in our favor, Title 2 is now a reality!
F.A.Q.1. What is Net Neutrality?
A: "the principle that Internet service providers should enable access to all content and applications regardless of the source, and without favoring or blocking particular products or websites." Essentially, all internet traffic should be treated equally no matter who's traffic it is, Netflix, Youtube, etc.
2. Why is Net Neutrality good for me and why should I support it?
A: Would you like to pay an extra fee to your ISP to access Steam? Yeah, I didn't think so. If all traffic is treated equally, it means ISPs cannot set up toll gates for competitor websites.. like Netflix. Especially when
they already tried to do that.
3. Why are some people still against Net Neutrality?
A: The only people that would really be against it are the cable companies themselves. After all..
money.
4. What can I do to help?
A: As seen above, you can go here
https://www.battleforthenet.com/ and see which senators and house members in your state are pro-cable or pro-net neutrality. If they're pro-cable, you can bug the stuff out of them via Facebook or Twitter or whatever.
5. State..? I don't live in the US! How will this affect me?
A: This still affects you. Think about how many sites are hosted in the US and how many people would have to pay or even how much your favorite website company would have to pay ISPs for access to a majority of their customers. It would ram them into the ground. Startup companies would have a nearly impossible time trying to gain any ground and would slowly lockout the entire market to only the big companies. Any anti-net neutrality stance is not good for the people using the Internet and especially not good for people with a brand new idea that Comcast or Verizon may not like.
